Hey,

If i burn a DVD+R disc that contain .avi files that i downloaded (anime),
and i store them is the top condition that a disc can have... that means:

- Use Vebratim Disc DVD+R 16x made in taiwan (the best that i found)
- Store them inside close plastic disc cake
- Store all that in DRY and COOL and DARK closet (Wood closet)
- The disc them selfs are 100% scrach free, and barely used (I burn them so i can see the anime in afew years from now, Don't ask)
- The disc them self are 100% fix, not broken nor damaged etc.

continue of Question: Will the .avi files will be damaged when time goes by? that mean the sound quality will be lower? and the picture of the avi will be lower as well, more pixel, less shape and clear image. Will that happend?

And i ask this because i have afew anime that i burn not so long time ago... (some afew month some 1-2 years) and when i check to see if the disc are all right, i see a damaging in the quality of the avi files. (image+sound)

I'am kinda worried cuz i will continue DL anime and burn them and i afarid that i losse there HQ that i saw before i burn the anime's...

i'll be glad if you answer my problems.
btw: the cd that i use: DVD+R Vebratim 16x made in taiwan.
(There is any other alternative to store avi files for years without damage the HQ of the files?)

tnx

it made be that the quality has stayed the same, your just used to seeing better quality this day and age.
take some of the old shows you watched years ago(depending on your age i guess) say you just watched a show that was 20 years old, it was prime in it's time but now it's a bit cheesy a little grainy and the graphics are just funny
i feel you are worried about nothing that they will be fine.......
but i am know expert on the matter.....just my opinion
cheers

Look i have new LCD screen, my last one was CTR, it might be the problem?

The quality of the video/audio will not go down.
The worst that will happen is that the media will degrade & you'll have problems reading the disc. If you are able to copy the video off the disc then the quality should be unchanged.

I don't how the monitor become the source of problem, may be video card but not monitor.

LOL i have better video card now, Nvidia GeForce 7600GT... my last one was GeForce 5200 FX

Yes it could contribute to the problem. LCD screens tend to make the video smeary, since the pixels have a higher latency than those of CRT.

If you have a cheap LCD TV the above statement is correct otherwise what you're seeing is probably compression artifacts and/or your DVD player is having issues reading the disc.
